One of the major problems with other note taking applications is this function. The main reason this program is amazing is because it does not use this feature. Often times snote or one note miss interprets mathematical operators. Handwriting to text is not "natural note taking."

I'd like to make Peter Barrette's words mine too. Providing handwriting-to-text conversion would be amazing if you'd ever need to search for content. I believe Papyrus would be the best on its class if it had this feature.

One addition to the description....do not move the text. Make it convert the text in place.

In the S-Note app (2014 addition), if you have something like a diagram with various parts labelled and you select the whole thing for handwriting-to-text conversion, it would push all of the words from the whole diagram together into one location.

I would be happy with post-processed handwriting recognition. In fact, I would prefer that the handwriting remain in the display, while the recognized text is attached to the page as metadata that is editable in an alternate view.

The idea is that my handwriting, drawings, images are preserved as drawn, but the textual content of the note becomes searchable. That should be easily doable as a post processing operation while relieving the developers of the difficult task of reformatting the screen view after conversion to text.

I actually thought handwriting to text recognition was one of the features when I bought it. Very disappointing. I like the interface better than Snote, but without this regognition, this app is useless.
